You better be a fast reader is all I'm saying haha

First episode was good, almost too many words too fast though, I struggled reading and appreciating the animation

Music sounded good

I'm Excited, I'll keep watching

The ranting of Minare Koda is strangely enjoyable. I can't get enough.

Man, every time I see a hand-drawn bear being animated, my Golden Kamuy PTSD clicks in such a way... that Season 3 couldn't come sooner, by the way.

Well, quite an interesting premise we have here. Personally, I find it rather captivating so I look forward to seeing where it goes. Minare's character is also charming in her own way and her VA fits so well I could listen to her rambling all day. Figuratively speaking, of course.

I don't get why they didn't just start the anime with the second half of the episode, which is how the manga starts... would have made more sense than opening with the bear scene in my opinion. The choice they made may well be why the series starts off with this pretty low score,... I hope to see it improve over time because the story in itself is good and the adaptation so far (artstyle, animation and VA) is spot on.....

Instant hook, gave off the same synergy as Oshi ga Budoukan from last season for me. Though, the only thing that irked me was the shadow on the MC's eyes is really distracting at times.

The protagonist has so much energy that I did not have a chance to take a break, I felt like I was going with her at full speed. However, I enjoyed the chapter and it left me wanting. I'll wait for the next.

Weird, always up for an edutainment anime, MC is a bit hot and cold for me, might give it 1 more ep.

Looking forward to this, had my eye on the manga before this came out.

What's hooked me in this wasn't the aesthetics, which are pretty good, or the music, which is also pretty good, but the main character's voice. The voice actress is doing a damn good job, and isn't even that experienced in anime judging from her MAL page. I'm a sucker for good performances, and hers impressed me, I really enjoy when female characters don't sound like squeak toys

If you are looking for an average show, with tropey characters, with moe characters or mc inserts who have the personality and backstory of a cardboard stand-up... this ain't for you. If you are looking for something to watch in the background, while you shitpost on the internet... this ain't for you. If you want a stereotypical (quiet,shy, subservient) female character... this definitely isn't for you.

If you want top notch voice acting, writing, animation, production, based on a fantastic manga from a master mangaka... you have arrived at the right place.

If my message somehow offends you... I promise you that it is you not me!

It seems weird saying this, but that Ending is the best part of this show. Weird, because I fucking loved the MC. I mean damn, that's a good fucking song.

Random but interesting. Probably best enjoyed while taking acid. It helps understand the bear.

As a start it is a bit confusing, so much so that I saw it a second time to better understand what was happening and better enjoy the dialogues and the interpretation of the characters, which all seem to deserve, especially the protagonist, even if we have to say that she is the only one who has interacted most of all in this episode. Good quality of drawings, very good animations, catchy soundtrack and pleasant opening and ending.

Overall found it extremely boring and energy draining, i'm not gonna deny that it might be a good anime, but that's definitely not the one for me. From the replies that i see and the fact that second episode has 3 times less replies i can assume that the anime won't reach everyone.

Oh, is that how it started in manga? thanks for sharing as it makes much more sense now. I was totally lost during the bear interaction which probably killed off my anime hype.

For a long while was wondering if mc's bipolar, who's pov, what's real? & wth what's happening.
Omg non CG bear! if golden kamuy...
Fight animation was tops. Great intense VA expression, but very tiresome as viewer.
Props to the uniqueness, but seems I don't have interest to radio or any characters/plot here yet.

Well it was definitely something.. Lots of energy here - I like it. Probably helps I am quite into hip-hop and I get those vibes from the MC.

I can see why this has such mixed reviews I can see it not being everybody's cup of tea. Lot of dialogue and very scattered and crazy. I personally loved it and found it very engaging (although it's only 1 episode so can't get carried away) the lead is very charismatic and engaging, found her ramblings and dialogue amusing and funny, the whole episode just felt really solid and well done. Loved the ED theme too (OP was decent also)

What the FUCK is up with the shadows (or whatever they are) in the eyes? This is annoying on an infuriating level.

I decided to seen this one until some hard feeling in my first period of time.

I believed, this show has belong to the difficulty of the people that worked under the pressure of being the radio broadcaster. And the MC was a harsh lady! Idk why, but surely i had enough time laughing myself hard with her style announced her session of talk in the radio. I am enjoying much on it. Its just way too much satisfaction on these first episode! I might be late. Still, i am glad finally had time seeing this ridiculous show.

To be honest, the art style was somehow a bit weird. The heroine had some kind of rounded shadow in her eyes that made me felt a bit irritate. What was that? The design itself seems to brought some classical style that led the theme of being the radio announcer feel real. Like, in this era of digital and internet globalization, who else still listened to the radio except the classic old people? The classical thing made this show kinda brought some nostalgic feeling. Was that right? To me, its just an okay Introduction od the show, same goes by to the animation section.

However, the storyline still holds some intrigueing moment. Especially with the struggle of life that woman had. In general, the theme itself had a unique point that made me so interesting and curious about it. Yet, the title, 'Wave, listen to me', indeed, its trying to figured out something. Its to figured the activity of that woman needed as her mature heart of feeling flied so high together with the waved of sounds she had in the radio conjunction box.

Its, a pretty intrigueing story so far, i believed, and too much. I just hope she just enjoyed her new life as the wave of sounds announcer. Lmao. Thats it for now.

Don't really like radio but this looks really interesting with Minare being a energetic funny main character to watch. Kind of impressed and bit mesmerised how she can just ramble on without taking long pauses there

It was a pretty good start, better than what I expected! I like Minare's outspoken character, the way she talks, especially when telling her or the radio listeners stories (more like babbling.. but that's exactly what makes it interesting) is really fun to watch and hear. Her seiyuu is did a good job~

I hope the main character is getting more chill now. If she is continuing it, I might drop it next episode. I really cannot stand loud and annoying character tropes which are angry and loud all the time. Other than that I cannot tell if I like this setting yet or not. It's very unique for an anime for sure

Honestly, did not enjoyed this at all whatsoever lot of it was just blame anyone else but yourself for problems you yourself have caused while sure a radio host concept is cool on paper.

It was really just well cringe, angst for the sake of angst and alot of man hating as well too gross.

Overall not worth watching.
